submitted by: admin on 11/25/2024
In an article published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine in 2012 it was determined that MDs are not ordering preventive screening tests very often.

Medical Buzz Words Signal Economic Take Over
submitted by: admin on 10/11/2013
When the buzz words of medical practice change, they reflect a change in how it works. Today's medicine now looks at hospitals as factories and office visits as economic transactions. Patients are no longer patients but consumers or customers. Doctors and nurses are considered providers.
Reducing medicine to economics makes a mockery of the bond between...

submitted by: admin on 10/11/2013
According to an article published in the October 2012 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, most medical guidelines are based on opinion and weak data. They do not follow the standards set by the Institute of Medicine.
